My neighbour's children and their friends consistantly play the cricket in front of their garage. But they keep kicking the ball to our garden and house, and they come to get their ball to our garden about five times in ten minutes without asking our permission through the hole of the fence which were made by my neighbour for convenience of their childrean to They are very noisy as well. We put the wire to the hole to stop them keep kicking the ball to our property. The annoying thing is they know we are in the house but just don't care and come to our property and their parents in the house as well. What is their intention? What you can do in this sitution?

We ask the help from Community Wardon and we were only told just tell their parents and we have to live with our neighbour. This won't give us a help in the sitution because we had the similar sitution before and nothing feedback from our neighbour. Do we have to suffer this?

I have only seen the ad once. So, I gather it must be new. Also, you just have to pay S&H to try it.

A mate of mine has moved into a new home and so are there ways of removing this smell from carpets and furniture at all, or ways of covering it up? Any ideas? Thanks very much x

I grow veg organically, but have recently moved to a smaller plot. I want to maximise the crop I get from my bed system. I have read several books and cannot get a clear answer to this question:

If I grow french/runner beans in my legume bed spring/summer, can I follow these with broad beans overwinter peas? Or do I have to reserve half my legume bed for overwinter crops?

Same question for summer/winter brassicas.

Any help gratefully received.

The "lawn" is part of a two acre woodland / parkland and dozens of rabbits appear every night for a social bit of hole digging.

Meaning all my nieghbour's effluent flows down into my property? At the moment my problem is cement slurry I have a thick crust of cement effluent in my plants (obviously he's been cleaning his cement mixer out and sent the slurry my way). In the past, things have been limited to getting so much water its made my garden soggy and lots of detergent. He must have OCD he never stops hosing down his patio. I have spoken to the council and they say they will investigate.

MY concern is that soon he'll be building a new patio further up the garden. Is there anything I can do to prevent the same reocurrence, especially since their 8 dogs are going to have even less space for their uknowwhats after the extension work has been completed on their property.

Is cement slurry considered to be environmentally hazardous? My son's football was lying in it and it had a thick coating of the stuff.

I have a ceiling fan that makes a small humming noise while it is on. I heard you can oil them, but I do not know how. Do I need to take them apart? Is it better to replace the fan instead?

If you put a plant (aloe) in a clay pot do you need drainage holes or does the clay absorb the water

I don't neccessarily mean permanently, though if things worked out that way to both sides agreement, it could. It's just that we'd like to "try before we buy." Having never lived in those places, I want to make sure we'd like it there (or being okay with being away from here) before we actually sell our house and make a permanent move. It could be a few months to a year we're talking about. We're in Minnesota, an hour away from Duluth, which harbors Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake. I know that's not much of a tradeoff, but this state is not entirely without assets--cheaper costs of living, 10,000 lakes, "Minnesota Nice," etc. Nothing has to be set in stone--let's talk about it!

Botanically a tomatoe is a fruit, but something else makes it a vegitable and I want you to tell me what it is. I know the answer but I want to see if anyone else does. I'm looking for something specific and the closest to what I'm looking for get's the 10 points.

I just put a load of laundry in (12:48am...can't sleep...) and I got to thinking.

I don't separate my clothes. I just throw in whatever I grab. I've never had a problem with bleeding *knocks on wood* or anything.

Do you separate? If so, by what? Colors, texture, temps of water (I just keep mine on warm/cold).
